May 15, 2019 Hong Kong
They say Hong Kong has the same climate as the Philippines, only in a higher level. If it's hot here, it's hotter there.
So I made sure before landing in Hong Kong, I'm wearing the right outfit to get me through the day. On our first day, the weather forecast has been accurate—it's more humid there than in Manila. Good thing I wore this red tank top and a high-waist pants to walk comfortably.
And if you would notice, I'm wearing a pair of heels here and you might ask Is she out of her mind? Traveling in heels? Is that even possible? Oh I tell you, this pair is more comfortable than any other flat shoes! In fact, I've used this a lot already. These posts are proofs!
But what I like most
It's really sleek, chic and lightweight. It matches my outfit here but it can be paired with almost everything!
Here's a tip, when traveling, bring things that are versatile or you think you can pair with any outfit to avoid packing so much.

I have an oily and acne-prone skin so I'm always on the lookout for what skincare routine suits me best. One of the options would be doing a facial but haven't tried before because, as what I've heard from almost everyone, it's painful.
But because in this day and age, tiis-ganda is life, I have to do it to take good care of my skin. And there, I had my very first facial experience at Skin House Beauty and Laser Clinic.
When I entered their clinic, I was amused at their chic, cozy, homey and welcoming interior. I felt at ease already and that's when I knew I was in good hands.
Okay, so let's talk about the treatment. First, they cleansed my face and massaged it for minutes. They then left me and have my face steamed to open my pores for the real deal here—extracting the blackheads and whiteheads.
That's when the pain started. It hurts while pricking, squeezing and extracting the blackheads and whiteheads. But the pain is bearable and I didn't cry. Okay, I'm telling you this because most people I know who are facial regulars said the process will make you cry. Perhaps, Ate Jen, who did my facial have gentle and light hands.
Part of the treatment also was the Diamond Peel and 24 Karat Gold Mask. For the diamond peel, the treatment will deeply cleanse and exfoliate your skin. This is pain-free!
And my most favorite part of the whole facial experience was the 24K gold mask! I felt so relaxed the whole time, during and after the mask experience.
The results won't show yet after the first session but trust me, after the whole process this day, I felt like I have a smooth skin and all the dirt from years were gone.
So will I come back at Skin House? Definitely!
You may visit them at 2/F 8006 Pioneer Centre, Corner United St., Brgy. Kapitolyo, Pasig. They also have a branch at Quezon City.

If you want to add a pop of color and make femininity your style, pastel is a great choice. From blush pinks and sorbet blues to anything soft hues, wearing pastels give lightness and elegance to any look. Timeless pastel clothes are a great investment since they will never go out of style.
If you want to cop a pastel OOTD, I've rounded up three (3) ways on how to wear pastels.
Monochrome
Choose one color and stick with it. But make sure to not overdo it.
Mix Pastels in One
Pastels go well with other pastels. Wearing two or more pastel colors at the same time will establish a calm, warm, and relaxed look. Here, aside from my pastel pink dress, I used a blush pink bag from Kate Spade and a pair of nude heels. This is the right way on how to wear pastels.
Mix a Bold Color
If you aren’t prepared to go full out with a pastel OOTD, mix small pops of color into your attire. In this case, I wore a pair of teal flower earrings from Make Me Blush. It gives a subtle edge and bold statement to your outfit.

It's officially summer and what better way to spend it than to chilla at the beach? But wait, before you head out and bake yourself under the sun, be sure to protect your precious skin, girl.
Sure some of us love to get those tan lines. They look sexy, I know but basking yourself out there without any protection leaves your skin and health at risk! So make sure to apply the right sunscreen.
Recently, I discovered the newest addition to the Belo SunExpert Essentials—the Whitening Sunscreen—through Sample Room PH, which by the way has the nicest items!
So, let's get through this product.
What it promises
- Niacinamide and Brightening Essence lighten skin tone with regular usage.
- SPF 50 and PA++ ensure broad spectrum protection against harmful UV rays.
- Cell Protect strengthens skin’s defense against premature skin aging.
- Non-sticky and lightweight. Water resistant. Works as soon as you apply it.
- Paraben-free. Non-comedogenic. Hypoallergenic. Dermatologist-tested.
Impressions
- True to its promise, the Belo SunExpert Sunscreen is non-sticky and lightweight. I've been using the same brand of sunscreen for the longest time because it gives me what I'm looking for but now, I think Belo is giving my trusted brand a run for their money.
- It works like magic! When I went to the beach at 3pm, I forgot to apply sunscreen before heading out. I used the sunscreen 15 minutes before dipping into the water and after hours of soaking myself under the sun, lo and behold, uneven skin tone is nowhere to be found.
- Though after using this for a week, I haven't seen any whitening results, yet.
- But all in all, I would still recommend it.
- Rating: 9/10

I've always wondered what it's like to use lip and cheek tints. To be honest, the first time I've heard of it, I wasn't a fan already. To me, why would I put sticky pigment on my face and lips?
But now, I understand what the hype is all about. It's really convenient to have one item that you could use for your pout, cheek and lids which makes my primping routine super easy! Thanks to Glitter PH that sent me this package with all the good stuff a beauty junkie could ask for.
They gave me six (6) different Vain Stain cosmetics products.
On these photos, I used the matte eyebrow set in Coffee shade and
Girl Next Door lip and cheek subtle tint.
Shades:
Caramel
Coffee
Shades:
Boss Lady
Down to Earth
Girl Next Door
Keeper
Spontaneous
Tough Cookie
THOUGHTS:
- Far from what I thought of tints, Vain Stain's items feel lightweight on the cheeks and pout.
- The tints last longer than I thought. I used the lip and cheek subtle tint for a shoot at around 7am and even when I got to the beach at 4pm, I noticed that it did not fade. The tint looked more natural.
- The eyebrow set is okay but kinda sticky compared to other brands I've used.
- The makeup setting spray works but I don't like its super sweet and overpowering scent.
- I love their packaging! By looking at it, you would think Vain Stain is expensive because of their oh-so-nice packaging!
- The price is very affordable!
- All in all, I'm gonna rate Vain Stain products with a score of 7/10

February 23, 2019 Siargao Island, Philippines
When at the beach, you'll see two kinds of person: the one who loves splashing around in the waves and the one who loves to sip a smoothie while reading a good book under the sun.
Whichever you are, one thing's for sure—beach days are the best days, as they say. And you know what's even better? The right beach ootd for the 'gram. And by "right ootd," I mean wearing something over your swimsuit without looking overdressed at the island.
In this article, I'm going to let you in on secrets on how to be instagram-ready at the beach!
If you don't plan on swimming and your goal is to just snap a great photo, then you just need three (3) things to be Instagram-ready at the beach.
1. A CUTE BIKINI TOP
Who says swimsuits are for the water only? Sometimes, okay most of the time, it's meant for the corner of the beach under the shades of the palm trees.
2. MATCHING BOTTOMS
So you have the top already, now its time to look for the perfect bottom to pair it with. Here, I wore a white tennis skirt to look more casual and sporty. Aside from a skirt, you could also pair your bikini top with a high-waisted trousers.
3. ACCESSORIES
Add some interest by wearing the right accessories. Here I wore a pair of large gold hoops, dainty layered necklaces and a silk scarf.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
